What are the expected impact on Earth ecosystems by mining activities in the Moon?
While we develop space travel technologies, the Moon will always be the first destination. By its proximity to Earth is the obvious target to test our technology.
Before we can establish some kind of mining base in Mars, for example, we probably will do that in the Moon first.
Isn't altering the Moon mass actually a bad idea? Moon affects various things on Earth like tides. Would not people on Earth be concerned about that. Would Earth government allows it so easily?
The question is the one on the title. What are the expected impact on Earth ecosystems by mining activities in the Moon? The ones in the previous paragraph are not needed but comment on them if you can.
I don't know the math for this, but the Moon isn't as big as Earth and its resistance to these activities is expected to be a lot less.
